I would be supremely surprised if "the majority of people" that have PCs at home 
*use* Photoshop or Premiere.  They may well have it on their systems, but I would 
suggest that the functions they use on these products have already been implemented 
in Free Software projects... I agree that many project could do with a little spit 
and shine though.

And as for iTunes... have you told Apple?  I am guessing that if iTunes was 
available for Linux you would be happy to use it on Linux?  If people don't tell 
them (Apple) then they won't know.

Grant.
